Required output item is not seen on exit trigger

Hi @Joerg Vogel

I have tried the solution you have suggested yesterday.

I have imported your 3D models and copy pasted the items which i needed and made a new flow item, So that on providing the ON Exit trigger I thought to change the visual so that I can achieve that. But the visual is not seen in the trigger box.

I do not change a visual shape in a trigger. The attached files are shapes. I make new flowitems in Flow Item Bin.

• In Flow Item Bin I make copy of a pallet by an icon of the toolbar.
• I exchange the Shape by browsed file.
• I adjust shapefactors and item size attributes.
• Optional: I write my own stacking algorithm to place items on shelves. Or I set visibility of drawn surrogate objects and hide stored items.
• In a model I create items of the flow item bin and then I choose my new item type.

If you read the thread of referenced shapes and also linked threads, you find models using these shapes as flowitems. You can make a user library from the moving rack items in those models and save the user library then to be used in a different model again.

Note that if you want shapes to be embedded in a user library you'll need to manually add a packedmedia node above the relevant objects in the tree.
